Portugal's Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Margarida Balseiro Lopes, has announced that Manifesta will be held in Coimbra in 2028, a strategic move reflecting the government's commitment to culture. The biennial, founded in 1996, aims to engage local contexts and communities in collaborative cultural production. Manifesta will partner with Coimbra-based Anozero, led by Carlos Antunes and Désirée Pedro, to promote cross-cultural collaboration within the European arts landscape. The event will be supported by national partners, including Portugal's Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and will draw on a combination of international and local expertise.
